Moonlight Excursion. Lust Friday
night tho junior of the Democrat vras invit-
oJ to nceompnny tlio Albany Brass Band
and a few friends on a moonlight excursion
oa tho Willamette. Skiffs were procured,
and our party were rowed across tho river to
the Benton county side, after which wo
walked up along tho shore to the residenco
of Mr. Martin Rainwater, about a half mile
above town ; and, after tho Band had tip.
propriatcly serenaded tho family of Mr. 11.,
and been appropriately treated to some deli
cious apples, we rc-cnibarked in our "gondo
Saa" and glided with tho current gracefully
and musically down tho placid bosom of tho
tbeautiful "and poetical Willamette. Palo
2ur a cast her beauteous rays athwart our
bows and made sportive shadows on tho
glassy surfaco of the stream, whilo the boys'
in keeping with the quiet harmony of tho
occasion, played that soul-stirring and
plaintive air from the soul of some modern
composer, iz : "Johnny am a lingo lay !"
and occasionally rent tho air with shouts of
tvlctory and applause. The object of this
excursion will never bo known to posterity,
though it may be inferred by future histori
ans that it was gotten up for the purposo of
.heroically celebrating.
Retired. Mr. John Barrows, tho senior
-member of the mercantile firm of Barrows
Co., of this city, has withdrawn from
-business, having disposed of his interest to
his junior partners, Messrs. Blain & Young,
-who will still continue tho business at tho
old stand ; and we are quite sure the popu
larity which they have so justly earned by-
strict and unfaltering attention to business
and fair-dealing with customers in days
gone by will secure them a liberal patron
age from the trading public hereafter. Mr.
Barrows has been in the business of mer
chandizing in Albany for the past sixteen
jears, and in that time has become well
known and deservedly popular as a mer
chant. He retires followed by the best
-wishes of hosts of friends in this communi
ty. "Long may he Tave !"

Messrs. P. II. Drake & Co., proprietors of
the Plantation" Bitters, are said to be the
largest importers of St. Croix Bum and
Calisaya Bark in America. The Hum im.
ported by this firm is all used in the prepa
ration of their Bitters, and is manufactured
under the immediate supervision of one of
their agents upon leaed plantations on the
Island of St. Thomas. Over nine thousand
puncheons, about one million gallons, is
used annually for their Bitters alone. The
Calisaya Bark is all imported from Brazil,
and is also gathered and selected by the na
tives, under the supervision of an agent sent
out for that purpose. The cures pnxluecd
by these Bitters arc wonderful.
Si ecial Meeting. At the regular meet
ing of Albany Fire Company, held on lat
Tuesday evening, it was decide! to hold a
special meeting of the Company this (Satur
day) evening, at the old Maonic Hall, for
the purpose of devising the Lot and most
feasible plan of erecting an Engine IIouso
for the retention of the Fire Engine which
is expected to arrive within three or four
weeks. The Company bavo not definitely
decided as yet, whether to build or rent,
though a majority of those with whom wo
have conversed seem to favor tho former
project.
SnjirELr. The members of the Albany
Fire Company arc nowin possession of their
uniforms comprising black pants, red
ahirts, belts and caps and they present a
magnificent and unique appearance to the
Mnaked eye." Tl:o caps wcro purchased at
the celebrated and popular hat and cap em
porium of MeussdorfFer & Bro., of Portland,
and are made of the best and finest material
of cloth. Persons never fail to get satisfac
tion by sending their orders to Jleussdorffer,
II .i ! fob toe Sound. Our estimable fellow-citizen,
G. T. Vining, Esq., will start in
a few days for Puget Sound with a drove of
cattle. He designs taking a survey of that
country with a view to making it his futuro
residence if bo ia favorably impressed. We
hope be will not bo li favorably impressed,"
because wo can't conveniently spare such cit
izens om Mr. V. from our midst, not even to
,bencfit the "Clara-Diggers."
Peterson's Macazixe. This popular La
dies' Magazine for March has already made
its welcome appearanco in our sanctum.
This number is replete with interesting read
ing matter, and all the intricate mazes of tho
fashions are elaborately represented in its
pages. We really do not see how the ladies
can do without Peterson's Magazine.
Velocipeoe. They have got it in Port
land, and it is already threatening Albany
and other valley towns. We would advise
our " City Fathers " to prepare a hospital
and order universal vaccination immediate
ly. A broken leg or arm is said to be a
"powerful disinfectant."

Apollo Mixstrels. We noticc, by the

Loss. Our friends, Messrs. Marshall &
Schlosser, livery btable keepers of this city;
last Tuesday lost a valuable horse by sick
ness. ' .
The Success, on her last trip, down
brought thirty tons of bacon from the
extensive packing house of A. Cowan &
Co., Albany. Thisjs the largest ship
ment of bacon we'havo beard of this
winter; and yet, it is but a forerunner of
what we may expect hereafter. This
housj, we learn, has a large amount still
on hand which will bo shipped in a few

Arrested for Murder. Dr. J. W.
McAfco and wire, of Salem, wcro arrest
ed at Hillsboro on Saturday last, by tho
Deputy Sheriff of Marlon county, on
charge of foul play towards tho Doctor's
first wife, who died suddenly at Salem
about six months ngo. At tho timo of
tho death of this lady, tho Doctor was a
member of tho Medical Faculty of tho
Willlametto University, who expressed
souio surprise at her sudden dumbo and
proposed a post, inortctn examination.
McAfco alleged tho cause to bo n soften
ing of the brain. Tho brain was exam
ined, but no sign of tho disease alleged
was discovered. Tho subject, however,
was hushed up for a time, and iu about
sis weeks tho doctor married tho widow
of a Mr. firccn, of tho firm of Plamon
don aud Green, of Salctn, who had died
but a short time previous, and who had
been uuder tho treatment of McAfee.
Recently new facts havo como to light

wuicu nave arouscu suspicion sumuiuuk io
cause tho arrest of both parties, who were
taken back to Salem yesterday to answer
the chartro abevo stated. They wcro
brought to this city on Saluada night
last ana lockcu in tne county jnu uniu
yesterday morning, when tho officer pro
ceeded with them to Salem. There had
been some domestic trouble between tho
Doctor and his first wife, prior to her
death, which makes tho case look worse.
Prior to this troublo the Doctor had
maintained a very respectable standing
in the community. The trial of the case
will elicit much interest nmpu;; those
that know tho parties. Portland Her

From Warm Spring. Mr. (Jilliug

Spring Agency, paid us a visit yesterday
Ho reports the weather as having been
very Cue at that place this winter. When
he left plowing had been commenced.
Things at Ochoeo were in a prosperous
condition. There aro about $0 settlers
iu that Valley at this time, among which
there are twelve or fifteen families. Pick

paramount to the financial interests of the Govern
ment tho public health being of infinitely more
importance than the public revenue. J;ut no such
pruteetive supervision it txcreied cither by the
central power at Washington or by the State gov
ernments. The Internal Revenue assessors and
Culh-etors simply demand their tax, knowing noth
ing about the wt)oloouienc.i or unwhoksmencss
of tho arii Io upon which it is levied ; the Culon
JIouic CuHcelors init on payment of the duties
required by law on imported li'iuors.buthow much
or how little foreign poison thero may bo in each
cask or puncheon it is not their buinejs to ascer
tain. Congress secins to have entirely overlooked
it function of public protection in k-gUlating on
the li iuor question. State Legislatures have been
equally remiss. Many of them havo tried prohibi
tion an-l lailC'J. . o one or tnem, so far as wo nro
aware, has endeavored to tuitigato tho evils of
wbieh they have all complained, by instituting a
rifrid system of inspection.
We should be glad to see such a system adopted
as an experiment. It would at least prevent un
principled dealers from palming off upon tho work
ing classes, to an unlimited extent, the fiery fluids
which fill our iaibi, poor-houses, hospital, lunatic
asylums, and innumerable graves with miserable
vieliniH.
Were such a regulation in force wo should have
no need to explain tho nataro and value of oar
preparation through the public press. Tho report
of tho inspecting officers would bo our sufficient
voucher a stronger advertisement than unv wo
could frame. Gladly would wo welcomo tho official
agents of tho Government Stato or Federal to
our factory, and challenge their closest scrutiny,
their sharpest tests. An inspection law of the
kind indicated would, if competently administered,
bo one of tho most useful enactments ever placed
on our statute books. It would be conservative
alike of health and morals.
When tho British Government literally tendered
opium to the Chinese at the point of tho bayonet,
compelling that unfortunate nation to mako its
election between hopeless war and a demoralizing
and deadly poison, tho United etatcscned shame
Wo denounced tho conduct of Great liritain as
unchristian and inhuman. So it was; but is our
Government guiltless if It permits tho people over

bo poiond in the dark f Tho deadly properties
of opium aro known. It cannot bo taken unwit
tingly, under tho supposition that it Is something
clrfo. Its taste and smelt betray it, and all who
buv it understand nrccisclv what thev rurcha?e.
i r
But this is not tho enso with adulterated lbjuors.
Tho taste, the cokr, tho aroma of undctenoratod
brandy, gin, rum or whisky la often bo closely
simulated by tho expert liquor mixer, that even
connoisseurs aro deceived, to say nothing of tho
ignorant and inexperienced. Nothing short of
scientific analysis can establish tho Uiflcrcnco bo
tween tho genuine and tho bogus article, and tho
knowledge of this fact cmboldcvs tho mixers to
flood the markets with their atrocious compounds.
Tho sum and substanoo of the'whole uiattor is
that tho standard liquors of commerce," puro and
undented, aro not procurable in this country, and
wo very much uoubt u they can bo obtained, in
tho ordinary course of trade-, on tho other sido of
tho Atlantic. i-,vcn if they could, they nro not

medicine. Tho spirituous principal, however pure,

W .A. rX' O I-I H3 H
Tho extensive use of theso watches for tho last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers,
and Expressmen, tho most exacting of watch
wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated tho strength,
steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Wal
thain Watch. To snlUfy that class in all these
respects, is to decide tho. question as to tho real
value of theso tlino-koept rs.
Moro than 400.000 of theso watches arc
now speaking for themselves In tho pockets of the
people a proof of their superiority over all others.
Tho superior organisation and great ixfent of
tho Company's Works at Wnlthatn, cnablo them
to produce watches at a price which render! com
petition futile, and ths who buy any other
watch, merely pay from 23 to JJO per cent, more
for their watches than Is necessary.
We are now selling Woltljam Watches at less
prices in greenbacks, than the gold prices before
tho war. There is no other manufacture of any
kind In the United states of which this can be
said.
Theso timo pieces combine every Improvement
that a lon experience has proved of real prae.tl-1
cat use. Having bad tho refusal of nearly everr
invention of watchmaking originating in this
country, or In Europe, only those were finally
adopted which scvero testing by most skillful ar
tixans In our works, and long use on tho part of
the public, demonstrated to be essential to correct
and enduring time-keeping.
Among the many linprovctqcnts wc would par
ticularize t
Th Invention and use of a ccntre-plnloc of pe
culiar construction, to prevent damago Ut the
train by the breakage of main springs, is original
with tho American Watch Company, who, having
hod the refusal of all other contrivances, adapted
EKg' patent pinion as being tho best and fault
less. Hardened and b inpcred hair.sprinjfs, now uni
versally admitted by Watchmaker to he the best,
aro used in all grades of Waltbam Watches.
All Waltbam Watches have dust-proof caps
protecting the movement from dust, and lessen,
ing the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessa
ry in other watches.
Oar new patent stem-winder, or keyless watch,
Is already a decided nuccess and a great Improve
ment on any stem-winding watch in tho Ameri
can market, and by fir tho cheapen watch of its
quality now offered to the public.
To CAM FORMA K8 and others living In por
lions of the United State where watchmakers do
not abound, wathcs with the above mentioned
Improvements tend ti insuro accuracy, cleanli
ness, durability and convenience, must prove In
valuable. Every watch bearing tho trade mark of Wattham
it guaranteed lo bs a thoroughly reliable timekeeper.
To prevent Imposition, buyer should Invariably
demand a certificate of genuineness.
The trade supplied by Messrs It. Ii. Gray A
Co., Han j'ranclso, Cal., and generally for solo at
retail by all respectable dealers.
